3 years to bring this to trial?
Whatever happened to "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial"?
In this case, the defendant has found several ways to delay … Colorado Newsline explained
"Her trial was first scheduled for March [2023] this year and was delayed twice to August and then October.
Peters recently [in late summer] changed her legal team. Her new lawyers, Douglas Richards and Madalia Maaliki, filed the motion to reschedule the trial so they could adequately prepare."
Continuances are pretty common in most criminal cases, and with the change in counsel, it was unsurprising. Her defense counsel need time to prepare in order render constitutionally effective assistance of counsel. Peters' federal lawsuit, on the other hand, was an ill-conceived and desperate attempt to have a federal court intervene, which the federal court rightly rejected on Younger abstention grounds. Nice try, Tina.
How about 'the wheels of justice grind slowly but inexorably.'
Seems to me it's a case of the acused is stalling and hoping from a pardon by Trump
Trump can't pardon a state crime, but you bet your ass she's been delaying hoping for better treatment once Trump is President again. It's about all she's got left.
State charges. Right. I kinda forgot about that.
FWIW, I think she is face some of both state and federal?
FWIW … US Attorney for Colorado and the FBI were part of the investigation.
Although the FBI and the US Attorney for Colorado's office were part of the initial investigation, as best I can tell, no federal charges have been filed.
So, Mesa County District Attorney Daniel Rubinstein.is prosecuting.
JID- there is some long, embedded graphic or code in the middle of your post, making it ridiculously long. You might want to edit that out.
Yeah, it didn't look that way when I pushed "post" … and I didn't see this comment until this morning, after edit time had expired. .
Sorry about that.
Key thought … "Although the FBI and the US Attorney for Colorado's office were part of the initial investigation, as best I can tell, no federal charges have been filed.
So, Mesa County District Attorney Daniel Rubinstein.is prosecuting."
I doubt the district attorney and judge in her case will be offering her a plea of any kind. She's so no remorse whatsoever about her actions, and she's been spending all of her time awaiting trial lying about in denigrating the district attorney and the judge in her case. She's been saying continuously in public videos that she won't give up, she won't give in, she's not depressed or suicidal, and she's fighting for her followers because they're coming after her instead of going after them.
